When an unexpected gift arrives from outer space, it promises to change everything—much to the dismay of Skagly, the landowner who sees his water monopoly in danger. Written by Don R. Christensen and illustrated by Joe Messerli, this 1978 Western Comics classic features a whimsical twist on scarcity, with Messerli’s distinctive art bringing the cosmic surprise to life on a cover he also penciled.
When water becomes a luxury in Dry Valley and Woody Woodpecker grumbles over the steep price of every gallon, a mysterious gift from outer space arrives—potentially changing everything. With Skagly the landowner determined to shut down the new source before it threatens his control, tensions rise between the townsfolk, including Knothead and Splinter, as the sheriff tries to keep the peace.
When Buzz Buzzard claims to have found "The Monster Mine" during a rock hunt, Woody Woodpecker and his friends Knothead, Splinter, and Sammy the Spoof can't resist following the trail into the mysterious underground tunnels—where strange echoes and flickering lights hint at more than just buried stones.
When the kids accidentally launch a rocket during a game in Boris's yard, Woody and Boris scramble into another ship to chase after them across the stars. With Knothead, Splinter, and Winnie in trouble on a strange, plant-filled world, the duo must navigate alien flora and a very green mystery before they can bring them home.
